Newly-minted Kedah Menteri Besar Ahmad Bashah Md Hanipah has only warmed his seat a mere six days, yet, he has been challenged to prove his prowess in regaining sponsors for the state’s football team.

As the new Kedah Football Association (KFA) president, Hijau Kuning supporters’ club president Nor Hasmadi Hamzah said, it was only natural for Bashah to save the association from the current predicament it currently faces.

After the political crisis – which saw former menteri besar Mukhriz Mahathir resigning from his post – at least two companies have withdrawn their sponsorships for the state team, Hasmadi said today.
